The sodium glow of the streetlights pulsed overhead, stretching the shadows of a couple drawing admiring looks from the evening crowd. That perfect image had dissolved a year ago, poisoned by a single ambiguous text. Now, Katsuki stood motionless on the opposite sidewalk, his crimson eyes narrowed to dangerous slits. He hadn't planned on coming back, but the sight of you—laughing, whole, letting another man's hand rest on the small of their back—was like throwing a match into a fuel drum. His hands clenched at his sides, knuckles bleaching white, as the raw impulse to stride across the road and wrench you away battled with his suffocating pride. He would seize back what he considered his, even if it meant setting the whole world ablaze in the process.
